@Conflagration I'll pose the same question to you as I did the others. Do you think Hitoshi and Jin are acquainted? Both having been in loads of trouble growing up, it makes sense that they may have crossed paths. Maybe they're friends? Or maybe they're enemies? Your thoughts?
I could see them as having crossed paths at the very least. I could see Hitoshi as having crossed paths with a lot of people, but perhaps he and Jin might have done so before he decided on reforming himself, given their histories. That could lead to some complications...
Hell, go far enough back and they would both essentially be different people to back then. Heh, that could be interesting.
